<i>Iguana</i> Reptile genus of herbivorous lizards

Iguana is a genus of herbivorous lizards that are native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The genus was first described in 1768 by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in his book Specimen Medicum, Exhibens Synopsin Reptilium Emendatam cum Experimentis circa Venena. There were formerly considered to be only two species in the genus; the green iguana, which is widespread throughout its range and a popular pet, and the Lesser Antillean iguana, which is native to the Lesser Antilles; however, genetic analysis indicates that the green iguana may comprise a species complex of multiple species, some of which have been recently described.

Expedition Robinson, was the first season of the Central European version of Survivor which was broadcast on RTL2 in Germany and on ORF in Austria from September 17, 2000 to December 3, 2000. The main twist this season was that the contestants were split into two teams based on their country of origin, with the North team initially being composed of eight Germans and the South team of eight Austrians. The early portion of the competition saw the South team struggle to just survive as they quickly lost the first three immunity challenges leading to the elimination of three of their members. Due to the evacuation of Claudia in episode two and the voluntary exits of Babsi and Lorraine in episodes four and six, jokers Julia, Frank, and Ulrike were added to the North and South teams midway through the pre-merge stage of the competition. When the tribes merged in episode eight, the former members of the South team found themselves the target of a North team based alliance and were systematically picked off until only Ulrike remained. When it came time for the final four, the contestants competed in two challenges in order to determine who would make the final two. As Thomas and Ulrike lost both of said challenges they were eliminated from the game. Ultimately, it was Melanie who won the season over Marc with a jury vote of 4-3.
